Look carefully around your garden. Do you find any common, overgrown shrubs or out-of-size bushes? These may be 
detracting from the beauty of your garden as a whole. Rather than assets, they quite likely are liabilities to other 
flowers growing nearby. Their long roots take valuable moisture and plant food from the soil, badly needed by other 
plants. Their branches may cast too much shade over other flowers, depriving them of essential sunlight and prevent- 
ing them from developing to the fullest extent of their beauty

for the space originally set aside for them should be removed as quickly as possible. Give your garden a facial by 
removing this overgrown and undesirable material, at the same time give yourself the pleasant sensation of having 
acquired an entirely new picture in your garden. 
Of definite superiority are Lemoine’s new Mockoranges and new Lilacs, as well as the new Weigelas and new 
Viburnums. 
Small trees of particular merit are the Flowering Crabs. Resembling but far surpassing Japanese Cherry Trees, they 
are noted for color, hardiness and beauty of bloom. Laburnum Vossi, a neat small tree with golden flowers, Paul’s 
Scarlet Thorn or the new Crimson Glory Thorn and Magnolias are but a few of the interesting things for the small 
garden,

Norway Naple “Crimson Ring” 
Acer Platanoides Schwedleri Nigra 
(Patent No. 735) 
About ten years ago a fascinating purple or maroon 
leaved Norway Maple tree was sent to America from 
Europe. It created the same sensation over here as it did 
in Europe. Several specimens were propagated and plant- 
ed along the East Coast as well as on the Pacific Coast 
for observation. The results have been most gratifying. 
It proved perfectly hardy and happy where Maples grew 
and it retained its magnificent leaf color throughout the 
entire summer. The effect is not unlike that of the 
Copper Beech, but in addition, the tips of the branches 
and the young foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten 
brilliantly in the sun. One would think the tree was in 
bloom. 
Here truly is a rare thing in trees; a superb plant for 
lawn, small or large; street trees or specimen for contrast 
among other trees. Unfortunately not many big trees 
are available so we decided to offer our customers what 
is known as a “‘whip.’’ This is a two-year, grafted, single 
stem tree about 6 to 7 feet tall, without side branches. 
When this ‘’whip’’ is planted in the nursery it immediate- 
ly starts to grow branches. It will do so, for you, in your 
garden. In two years time you will have a fast growing, 
vigorous young tree which makes it possible for you to 
enjoy this beautiful novelty two years sooner. Our supply 
is limited and will be for several years to come. Order 
promptly and you will possess one of the finest trees you 
ever owned.
